Time vs. Reward, and The Feast Tickets

[Nezerius]

But you don't have to get top 10 at all to do that, just participate every season to get enough tickets. You never have to touch top 10 at all.

Well yea, because the ticket system is designed to be separate from the actual ranking.

do a lot of people even have more than one main or the want for more than one weapon?

You're playing an MMO that allows players to play every single job on a single character. Yes, there are a lot of players that play multiple jobs. Yes, there are a lot of players who would want more of those weapons for glamour.

What does it matter whether you get it this season, next season or even in three seasons if you can always get it eventually?

What does it matter whether someone gets an expensively crafted glamour now, or 6 months from now? What does it matter whether someone gets a v4s weapon now, or 6 months from now? Being able to show off something unique, and being 1 of the 10 players in a datacenter that has something much, much sooner. That's a pretty big deal for a lot of players.

I personally have no need for two weapons so I can't quite see the point in my getting top 10 just for a weapon I can get by participation, a lot of extra work that isn't really worth the reward.

Then you clearly don't care as much for glamour, which makes me wonder if you find the armor set worth going for as well.
